Application of intelligent engineering in the planning of cyber-physical production systems

Abstract

The article offers the considerations and reasons for the application of the concept of intelligent engineering for the planning of cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). The engineering of an optimal chain of production processes is becoming an important competitive factor. Recently, an increase in individualization with simultaneously growing sales volumes has become the main trend in the market. In such conditions, industrial enterprises are facing the problem of the production of customized efficiency products. The solution to the problem of improving the economic efficiency can be ensured through the application of the intelligent engineering CPPS. The intelligent engineering is aimed at planning a CPPS that will ensure the production of a product in accordance with the individual requirements at the target cost. The intelligent engineering is based on the rapid planning of engineering enterprises, target cost analysis, and continuous digital planning of CPPS. The intelligent engineering of production includes several phases: analysis of requirements for a CPPS, calculation and analysis of the target cost, engineering of a cyber-physical production system according to the consumer requirements and target cost, creation of a production digital twin, application of a continuous digital planning approach, monitoring and evaluation of received data. Engineering of CPPS is based on the product framework the enterprise concept and target cost. The intelligent engineering involves designing a product using the concept of a product platform. This platform allows you to produce many options based on the layout of various product elements. As a part of the intelligent engineering concept, a cyber-physical production system planning is carried out in parallel with product design. Planning of the CPPS is done in accordance with the concept of an agile complex enterprise planning, at the same time for 23 modules simultaneously. A fundamental element of the intelligent engineering is the creation of a digital twin of the CPPS system that allows you to visualize the processes from product development to finished products as a single process in real time. Thus, the intelligent engineering allows you to quickly design the product and production process at the target cost. And the formation of an optimal chain of production processes is becoming an important factor in competition.
